Description

These spicy ramen noodles are a quick, comforting dish bursting with flavor, perfect for chilly evenings or family dinners.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 Tbsp. sesame oil
  • 1 Tbsp. minced fresh garlic
  • 2 tsp. freshly grated ginger
  • 1 1/2 tsp. chili flakes
  • 1 to 2 Tbsp. vegetable oil
  • 6 oz. shiitake mushrooms, tough stems removed
  • 1 bunch green onions, divided
  • 1 Tbsp. rice vinegar
  • 2 Tbsp. soy sauce
  • 2 tsp. fish sauce
  • 4 cups vegetable broth
  • 4 (3-oz.) packs dry ramen noodles (seasoning packs discarded)
  • 3/4 cup frozen shelled edamame, thawed
  • Optional toppings: fresh basil or cilantro, bean sprouts, soft-boiled egg

Instructions

  1. Heat sesame oil in a stockpot over medium-low heat. Add minced garlic, grated ginger, and chili flakes, simmer for about 5 minutes, then transfer to a bowl.
  2. In the same pot, add vegetable oil, increase heat to medium-high, add shiitake mushrooms, and sauté for 6-7 minutes until golden brown. Chop two-thirds of the green onions and sauté for another 2 minutes.
  3. Stir in rice vinegar, soy sauce, fish sauce, and vegetable broth, bringing to a gentle boil.
  4. Add ramen noodles, reduce heat, and let simmer uncovered for 3-5 minutes until noodles are cooked through.
  5. Stir in reserved garlic-chili oil and thawed edamame, and ladle into bowls. Top with remaining green onions and optional toppings.

Notes

For a spicier kick, add more chili flakes or a splash of sriracha. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
